Louvre Pod®

Enjoyed daily by over 4,000 UK Homes

Louvre Pod

10 year warranty, as seen on tv, finance options

100% watertight roof. A bespoke and tailor made solution. The Louvre Pod® structure and aluminium roof blades are available in a vast range of colour options.

Additional Features

As well as our Louvered walls and the different sliding doors and walls you can choose to customise your Louvre Pod® with, there are a number of other features that may entice you into the fold!

This is one of the fantastic things about the design of our bespoke metal pergolas - you're able to add an extra degree of individuality and personality to your aluminium structure.

Some of the additional fantastic features you can add to your Louvre Pod® include:

Add Louvered Walls to Enhance Your Outside Structure

As well as our traditional Louvered roofs, Louvered walls can also be included, giving you the ultimate in style and helping to make the ideal structure for your home.

Our vertical aluminium louvres allow for adequate ventilation, whilst also increasing privacy on those cosy evenings indoors. For an optional extra, you can include colour-changing LED lights, allowing you to control the mood in your permanent structure.

These garden structures can also be personalised to your own tastes, allowing you to show off your individuality.

The Louvered walls are operated manually and the personal touches don't stop there either, as you can partly or fully cover any side of your outdoor living structure.

White Perimeter LED Strips

To add an extra touch of class to your Louvre Pod®, why not consider adding an LED white perimeter strip to your garden structure?

These strips contain a full perimeter dimmable LED white light to ensure full visibility when sitting in your outdoor structure after the sun sets, so you can enjoy the space at all times of the day. You can set how bright the light is straight from the mobile application to suit your desired mood, with smart functionality included out of the box!

If the Louvre Pod® isn't quite right for you but you like the idea of an outdoor building with lighting included, the Gibus Med Twist might be a better option. The Gibus Med Twist is another bioclimatic pergola that includes several lighting options, such as LED blade tips, LED perimeter points and RGB LED strips.

Wood Effect Roof Blades

While our Louvre Pods are made of metal, you might be wanting more of a rustic pergola aesthetic. The good news is that one of the things we can implement into your design is our wood effect roof blades, giving you a good happy medium between the two substances.

Take your structure one step closer to nature with the aesthetics of a natural wood look roof. The aluminium blades can be finished in 3 oak colours, which you can choose depending on your preference:

Nature (natural)
Light grey
Dark brown.

By mixing up your metal pergola with a wood finish on the roof blades, you can become the master of your own garden space!

LED RGB Colour-Changing Perimeter Lighting

If you like the idea of including additional lighting within your Louvered pergola, our LED RGB colour-changing perimeter lighting could be perfect for you.

This lighting system allows you to change up the colour of your lighting to suit your mood. You can create your own ambient or festive atmosphere from the full range of colour tones available.

The best thing about our LED RGB colour-changing perimeter lighting is that you can change the colour of your lighting at any time, resulting in a beautiful metal pergola that will illuminate the skies.

LED Starlight Sky Lighting

Another amazing lighting system we offer with our Louvered pergolas is our LED starlight sky lighting.

This lighting system gives you the opportunity to relax under a starry sky composed of miniature LED lights. Recline, relax and drift away as the twinkling lights create a dazzling starry sky above you.

Light pollution is becoming more and more of an issue in urban areas, but our LED starlight sky lighting will empower you to mitigate the problem, so you can have your own personalised night sky displayed above you.

It doesn't matter if it's cloudy outside, as you can replicate the skies at night by using this LED lighting system, making for a truly beautiful sight.

Choose From Our Amazing Selection of Sliding Doors

When you buy one of our Louvre Pods, you can choose from a selection of different sliding door types, allowing you to make the most out of your outdoor space. Whether you prefer glass, Alutex or wood, there really is something for everyone!

And if you'd like a little more advice about which door type might suit your property the most, we'll be happy to help.

Our Seamless Glass Sliding Doors

One amazing addition to our Louvre Pods is our 10mm frameless glass sliding doors, allowing you to look out into your garden whilst also remaining warm inside.

These gorgeous doors can be used to open up your living area during the summer months, meaning you can host a garden lawn party without fearing the elements! In the winter months, closing the doors will create a wind and rain barrier. This means you can still enjoy the space even if the weather is cold outside.

You have the choice over whether you'd like the doors to open from the centre or the side, which is something we would talk about and decide on during the initial site survey. The colour can also be chosen, however our pergolas are usually powder coated to be the same colour as the structure itself for a seamless look.

Pick Our Awe-Inspiring Alutex Sliding Doors

Our Alutex sliding doors allow a little more customisation than the other door types on offer, available in over 50 different covers.

Alutex is an aluminium glass fibre material that has fantastic aesthetic qualities, as well as being particularly durable. This makes it a great addition to any home, and is particularly useful when it comes to the design process.

These doors consist of 2 rot-proof and mould-resistant Serge Ferrari fabrics, encased within an aluminium frame. The frame can also be powder coated to the same colour as your structure if you wish. There is little to no maintenance required, making our Alutex sliding doors perfect if you're on the go often.

Use Our Wooden Slatted Sliding Doors to Make Your Property More Homely

If you'd like something a little more traditional, our wooden slatted sliding doors are perfect, full of charm and warmth.

These thermally hardened wooden weatherproof doors are encased within an aluminium frame. The wood in these doors is resistant to rain, mould and rot, making them perfect for anyone living within an area with ever-changing weather.

The backs of the doors have another layer of protection, as they feature a weather-resistant Serge Ferrari fabric. This fabric has over 50 colours available, so you can tailor your doors to suit the style of your property.

Have a look through our catalogue of previous installations to see which door type you'd prefer!

Change Things Up With Our Vertical Glass Sliding Walls

Sliding doors are all the rage at the moment, but another addition to consider is our vertical glass sliding walls.

These fantastic glass sliding walls will give your structure shelter, without blocking your views, allowing for a nice happy medium throughout the year.

The vertical glass sliding wall consists of 3.8mm toughened glass panels and can be used all year round. In terms of measurements, the maximum width achievable is 4.25m and a height of 3m.

When fully opened, the glass stacks at ground level to balustrade height. The height when opened will be 1/3 of your internal structure height.

If you'd like to include our vertical glass sliding walls within one of our Louvre Pods, contact us today and we'll run you through the process!

Remote Controlled Sun Shade & Privacy Screens

At Open Space Concepts, we offer several different sun shades and privacy screens in a range of sizes and colours.

Our screens with zips are integrated with side guides to ensure the fabric is stretched taut and fit flush to your windows. Our remote-controlled screens are perfect for protection against sun, light wind and rain, allowing you to open and close your screens with the simple touch of a button.

More than 50 colours are available to choose from, allowing for a greater degree of customisation. Our sun awnings are another added extra that can be included at an extra cost, used to deflect the bright sunlight during the summer months.

OSC Price Challenge

We can give you an indicative quote by phone or email without the use of high pressure sales tactics - see how affordable our structures really are!

We have chosen the highest quality materials, engineered in Italy to withstand the harshest of UK winters and guarantee we will not be beaten on both quality and price.

LOUVRE POD®

Are you looking to add something new to your garden? A metal pergola is the perfect addition to any outside area, as these eye-catching structures are taking the nation by storm.

At Open Space Concepts, we've invented our own version of the metal pergola - the Louvre Pod®. Our Louvre Pods have been painstakingly designed by our highly talented team, created with both style and comfort in mind. We even offer bespoke Louvre Pods, so you can have a hand in the creative process yourself.

Despite our humble beginnings back in 2018, we've been in the outdoor structure business for over 25 years. We have a wealth of experience within the industry, having installed many outdoor living spaces ourselves during our careers.

This is just one of the things that makes us different from our competitors, as well as the wide range of permanent structures we're able to construct in your garden space. Read on to find out more about our Louvre Pods, or if you'd like more advice about our services, our friendly and professional team are happy to help.

How Can a Louvre Pod® Benefit Your Outside Space?

We believe that a Louvered pergola is the ultimate garden accessory, also making for a great status symbol, whatever your taste! These huge garden structures can add a great benefit to your life, allowing you to relax in style, no matter the weather outside!

Searching for outdoor living ideas that brings you closer to nature? Our innovative outdoor living pergolas provide you with a chance to enjoy the freedom of open space sitting under the warmth of your own roof.

We've listed a few of the more advantageous conveniences a Louvre Pod® can add to your home, leaving you safe in the knowledge that you've made the correct decision.

Hosting Special Occasions

One of the main reasons people tend to buy metal pergolas is due to the special occasions they can enhance - whether that be birthday parties or a place to invite friends over for an evening.

The sliding doors allow ample room for a garden lawn party, so your guests have the choice to mingle indoors or outdoors. These covered outdoor living spaces also mean you don't need to worry about the unpredictable weather that can occur in the UK, as your guests can easily head inside to finish the party off.

You can entertain your guests day and night, no matter the season! The Louvre Pod® can be equipped with LED lights and audio packages, creating a warm and cosy atmosphere for your outside space. Depending on the mood and time of day, the lights can be dimmed or colour changed to suit your desired ambiance.

Whatever the occasion, our Louvre Pods are the perfect space for celebrating! If you need garden inspiration, browse our case studies for covered pergola ideas like this recent Louvre Pod® addition in Salford.

A Customisable, Minimalist Space

Our Louvre Pods® have a sleek and minimalist design that harmonises beautifully with any outdoor living space, which can be individually designed to suit any garden or patio area.

Featuring uncomplicated elegant lines, this metal pergola makes for a powerful addition to your home, without skimping on style. It can be fitted with or without side screens and glass doors, so we can tailor-make each Louvre Pod® to fit your house perfectly.

Whether big or small, the Louvre Pod® can be fully tailored to create your dream garden space, attaching to your house easily. Each made to measure pergola is adaptable to any architectural configuration, transforming your outdoor space into a true relaxation or entertainment zone. What's not to love?

Plentiful Space

Another fantastic aspect of using our Louvre Pods is that they have ample space, perfectly designed to be able to fit the entire family.

You also can fit an array of furniture in them, giving you the chance to customise your outdoor living space to your own unique needs. Not to mention they're fantastic for entertaining - if you decide to have a dinner party, you could host after-dinner drinks in your metal pergola.

The morning is the best part of the day to observe the sunrise whilst sitting on your yoga mat after a light workout, or enjoying a light breakfast before going to a tiresome work routine. Our Louvre Pods are designed to combine a natural experience with the ultimate in luxury and comfort.

The evening is the perfect time to enjoy the weather with a cup of tea and a book to read, so why not add a cosy chair to your pergola to relax before bed?

The LED starlight sky lighting is sure to wow all visitors, making your house one of the most modern in the neighbourhood. The bioclimatic nature of our Louvre Pods means you'll be able to change the temperature and lighting to suit the time of year, able to use these fantastic garden structures all year round.

One of our more spacious examples is of this beautiful structure in Fareham.

Year-Round Enjoyment in a Fully-Automated Space

One of the fantastic benefits of using our bioclimatic Louvre Pod® is that it can be used all year round, so you don't need to feel confined to just using your garden area in the summer.

Our aluminium pergolas use a simple yet effective model of aerofoil louvres to control the level of sunlight or shade filtering into your outdoor space. When open, the louvres can be automatically adjusted to provide ventilation while also retaining your preferred level of shade. When closed, they help protect your outdoor living area from the midday sun or any extreme weather.

The bioclimatic pergola also naturally regulates the temperature of your outdoor space by controlling the sunlight heat and ventilation direction, allowing you to use these structures effortlessly. The pergola design allows for the year-round enjoyment of any patio or garden area, regardless of how much the weather changes.

Another crucial factor when purchasing a new pergola is its ease of use. Luckily, our Louvre Pod® system is equipped with fully-automated tilting and retractable louvres, making your life a whole lot easier!

With just the push of a button, you control the lighting, ventilation, temperature and aesthetic of your outdoor living area, making for an ideal living space.

What Is a Pergola?

Pergolas are outdoor garden structures, used as outdoor living spaces or outdoor rooms. They've become increasingly popular in recent years, with wooden pergolas also becoming increasingly common, alongside more traditional aluminium pergola and metal pergola designs.

Pergolas can differ greatly, with many variations on the theme available.

These garden structures are usually used to cover walkways and paths, with vines and other plant life often used to add a pretty touch. They're sometimes considered to be a form of gazebo and may also be installed as an extension of an existing building or terrace - although many people choose to have standalone pergolas as well.

Another similar form of garden structure is the arbour. Whilst arbours can be combined with pergolas, they're technically different. Most of the time, an arbour is classed as a set of bench seats with a roof, often made from wood (although this is not definitive).

As you can see, there are many different forms of pergola available to you, giving you a great deal of choice over your garden space.

What Types of Pergolas Exist?

Like with any permanent structure, pergolas come in a range of colours and sizes, with suitable alternatives available for any garden. Different materials can be used to make the perfect pergola for your garden. Wood and metal options are popular, with aluminium pergolas increasing in popularity over the years.

Whilst there are several different types of pergola on the market at the moment, there are two different types that we specialise in at Open Space Concepts - the freestanding pergola and the lean-to pergola. We've listed some of the key information about each form of this aluminium structure below to give you an idea of which one might be best suited to your garden space.

If you'd like to see some examples of our previous installations, take a look at our case studies page.

Lean-To Pergolas

Lean-to pergolas are one of the most popular forms of pergola on the market at present, having a long and rich history through the centuries. Pergolas are thought to have originated in Italy, with the term itself coming from the Latin word 'pergula' - loosely translated as 'projecting eave'.

Lean-to pergolas are built as adjoining structures to existing buildings, adding extra room and space to your home, as well as brightening up your garden.

By adding a lean-to pergola to your property, you can add extra value to your home. You'll also create an extra room to use, which could be particularly useful when entertaining in the summer months.

Most contemporary metal pergolas tend to be lean-to structures nowadays, although freestanding structures are still available.

Most of our designs tend to be of the lean-to variety - we have a huge range of different options available, with something suitable for every garden!

Freestanding Pergolas

Freestanding pergolas are less common than their lean-to alternatives, although they're still popular. As the name suggests, these formations are not attached to any other buildings or structures, standing on their own.

A gazebo is a good example of a freestanding pergola - they can be built both open or closed, allowing for a good deal of variety in their design.

At Open Space Concepts, our dynamic Louvre Pods tend to be built as adjoining structures. However, they can also be designed as freestanding buildings, giving you a great deal of choice over your home.

What Features Can You Include in Your Louvre Pod®?

One of the great things about our Louvre Pods is that they're highly customisable, allowing you to tailor your design to suit the personality of your garden.

There are lots of different features that you can include within your structure. These enclosures can add a great deal of life to any house or garden, wherever you live.

Some of the more common features that can be added to your outside pergola to enhance the experience include:

Fixed or movable glass doors
Built-in LED lights
Perimeter closure screens
An infra-red heating system
An integrated audio system

We've listed a few of the key attributes these fantastic structures have below, but if you're not quite sure about what you'd like to include, our team is on hand to help you.

How Do Our Louvered Pergolas Work?

At Open Space Concepts, we pride ourselves on producing well-crafted bespoke pergola designs, with the Louvre Pod® being the culmination of all our efforts. The features that these homely structures have will keep you happy throughout the year, no matter what the weather is like outside!

The roof blades are perfectly crafted for any weather, with the blades forming a watertight roof once fully closed. If it rains, the water is passed down through the blades, before being filtered through the attached drainage system in the posts. The watertight seal is not just limited to the roof either, with the sides of the building also being protected.

Fantastic ventilation is another plus - by opening the roof blades, you can let a cool breeze inside the structure, which is perfect for those hot summer days. The roof blades open at a 135-degree angle, operating in a synchronised movement that's absolutely optimal for this type of structure.

Sun protection is also included - the roof blades are made of aluminium, providing optimum protection against the sun when closed. You have full control over the amount of light visible, also enabling you to open the roof blades on sunny days to let a little more light into the building.

As you can see, these extraordinary structures have many advantages, enhancing any garden area!

What Is a Louvre Pod®?

A Louvre Pod® is a new type of metal pergola that we've created, drawing on the extensive experience of our skilled team. They're outdoor living structures, fitted with either a rotating bladed roof or a retractable roof to suit your choosing.

The main stand-out feature of our Louvre Pods is that they're a bioclimatic experience. This means they're designed to offer ideal comfort in terms of light and temperature, due to their totally natural ventilation system. These outdoor living spaces allow you to relax in style, without having to worry about the season or time of year.

The Louvre Pod® features a linear and elegant design. They're made of aluminium and are powder coated to withstand the most extreme outdoor elements, meaning you can enjoy this building all year round!

As the name suggests, our Louvre Pods are built with louvered roofs, which have angled horizontal slats. These slats can be opened and closed easily, rotating to respond to different seasonal elements, ensuring your pergola stays set at an ideal temperature.

The louvered roof is fitted with a series of automatic sunscreen blades that rotate up to 140 degrees, in order to adjust light and air circulation. In case of rain, the blades can be closed completely for total protection. This system allows the water to drain along the perimeter gutters, which are seamlessly integrated into the structure.

The Louvre Pod® is available in the following versions:

Freestanding (independent of other buildings)
Lean-to (adjoining or bridging an existing structure)

Whichever type of Louvre Pod® you choose to go for, each design can be fitted with

Perimeter closure screens
Glass doors
Infra-red heating
LED lighting
An integral audio system.

These additions made our aluminium pergolas perfect for any house and garden, no matter what look you're trying to cultivate. They're also CE certified, meeting EU protocol.
